Vulnerability is beautiful, until it is me...

Guest Post and Article from Becky Hammond with Isogo {LINK: http://www.isogostrong.com }

Hard-charging and self-sufficient. I thrive in that space. I take pride in it. So, when life filled to the brim and bubbled over these past 10 months, I was not prepared for the help I would need.

From a Strengths-based perspective, I have absolutely always thought that vulnerability and community were a beautiful thing. My CONNECTEDNESS craves the links and purpose between people. But, my ACHIEVER/ARRANGER one-two punch never foresaw the challenge of putting myself at the center of vulnerability and community as the one who needs. With my guy on deployment, a new baby to add to our two toddlers, my mom suffering from brain cancer, while nurturing a growing business, I saw it as a challenge to meet. But, as it turned out, it was a challenge to need. I was "that one" at the center of vulnerability and community, asking and arranging for an astounding web of people to support and catch us.

So, I wrote about that discovery, journey, and humbling over here .

I hope that by reading you will see into the truth from Brene Brown that Sarah herself reminded me of:

"Vulnerability is the last thing I want you to see in me but the first thing I look for in you."
